Noelle's Check-Up

Noelle's appointment yesterday went great! The doctor said she looked great & was still gaining weight well. She's 13 pounds & 13 ounces (50%), and her length is 24 1/2 inches (25%). I really think she's longer than that...the nurse didn't stretch her out too much, but that's the official number.

She also did really well with her shots. She cried more when they gave her the oral vaccine for rotavirus than when she got the actual shots! Yesterday she seemed very happy and alert, but today I'm noticing a little more crankiness and sleepiness than normal. For example, when I was feeding her today, I laughed at something on the TV and she burst into tears! (I guess she takes after me.)

She got the go-ahead for solid food. I think that will be SO fun! We'll be sure to blog about that and include pictures!

As for sleeping...our doctor just recommended letting her cry it out. The problem with that for Noelle is that sometimes when she's crying it's because she's rolled over and is on her tummy. So, we tried the sleep positioner yesterday, and she did really well with it during naps. We tried it again at night and she slept really well. 10 hours and no crying! Yea! I can't tell you how bad I needed a full night's sleep!
